stupid 'set' question

[Ken Laberteaux]

I have been told that if I set the TERM environment variable to linux,
less will work within octave and bash.  So I type from the bash shell

set TERM linux

or alternatively

set TERM=linux

Typing set after that reveals that TERM=dumb

(which is how I feel)

Help!!
